Kuleba: Statements saying that missile strikes on Ukraine ‘provoked’ – shifting blame on victim of aggression and must stop
KYIV. Oct 10 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Russian massive missile strikes on Ukrainian cities on Monday morning, October 10, were not "provoked" by the explosion on the Crimea Bridge, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
“No, Putin was not ‘provoked’ to unleash missile terror by Crimea Bridge. Russia had been constantly hitting Ukraine with missiles before the bridge, too. Putin is desperate because of battlefield defeats and uses missile terror to try to change the pace of war in his favor,” Kuleba said on Twitter.
“This nonsense about Putin being ‘provoked’ must stop. He does not need anything to ‘provoke’ him in order to commit heinous crimes. I ask international media to stop shifting the blame on the victim of aggression by suggesting that Putin ‘responds’ or is being ‘provoked,’” the minister said.
